For example, std::ranges::range<Holder<Incomplete>*> should be well-formed false, not a hard error at compile time.

43–46 | enum E; E{}.begin() will never be a valid statement, right? So __class_or_enum should just be is_class_v<_Tp> || is_union_v<_Tp> or something similar. |

43–46 | Right, but that would be longer; and breaking it down into two atomic constraints like that might lead to worse diagnostics (although I haven't tested that myself). Admittedly our diagnostics here are bad to begin with. |

43–46 | I thought about a name myself but couldn't find a good one. __class seemed to be the obvious choice, but that sounds more like is_class_v and not is_class_v || is_union_v. On the other hand, if it says __class_or_enum I would think of is_class_v || is_enum_v and not is_class_v || is_enum_v || is_union_v. Maybe something like __class_type to make clear that it's not just is_class? IDK, maybe we should discuss this on discord? |
LGTM! Regarding the class_or_enum discussion, note __unqualified_begin concept uses __class_or_enum, so we should change that (and others, where appropriate) if we want to say "class or union, but not enum".

For __unqualified_begin, __class_or_enum is both sufficient and necessary: it's looking for begin(__t), which means it needs to do ADL even for enums (but, again, not for pointers). I still don't understand why the well-formedness check of t.begin() triggers instantiation of Holder<Incomplete> when t is a pointer ( https://godbolt.org/z/Tfb3vTrvf ); I should ask around about that. |
Re @Quuxplusone

Right, that's the first thing that I think about when I see this PR. This looks like a Clang bug to me, is that possible? I don't understand why t.begin() could ever trigger ADL, and hence why this fix is necessary from the library side at all. Instead, I would expect that we fix Clang and then add the tests.
Of course, I'm probably wrong, but it would be worth understanding this instead of blindly "fixing" the library.

Yes, it's a Clang bug — and I just tracked it down and filed it as https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/52970 . However, even if we can get Clang14 fixed, we still need this as a workaround since we want libc++14 to work with Clang13. |

Woooh, I love when we do that! Thanks for looking into it! In that case, I would suggest that we add this: template <class _Tp> concept __workaround_52970 = __class_or_enum<remove_cvref_t<_Tp>>; Along with a suitable comment, and then we can use __workaround_52970<_Tp> in the affected concepts. Then, as soon as we drop support for Clang 13, we can grep-remove this workaround. WDYT? |

55 | Sure, works for me. (This is another opportunity to open the can of worms of whether it should be, like, concept __workaround_52970 = is_class_v<remove_cvref_t<_Tp>> || is_union_v<remove_cvref_t<_Tp>>; — but I'm okay not opening that can.) |
Add some new expanded tests for data and size, in addition to the ADL ones.
Apply Louis's suggested workaround for the Clang bug.
